VMNH is home to millions of fossils from near and far, including everything from giant dinosaur bones to tiny clam shells. Each of these gives us important information about the environments of the past and how they all fit into a larger evolutionary setting.

Join Dr. Alex Hastings, assistant curator of paleontology at VMNH, on Thursday, January 12 at 6 p.m. for "Dinosaurs and other dead things: How fossil collections teach us about evolution" as part of the museum's "2nd Thursday Science Talks". Learn about the rich fossil archive of the museum and its wealth of fascinating new information about ancient Virginia and beyond. Admission to the presentation is free.
